    Thank you very much for your wonderful video on this topic,and I got it completely, However,this is my question if we really need to know or study this to make us speak fluently.
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

      @Englishwithjennifer  Рік тому +1

      You ask a very important question! Most native speakers wouldn't be able to tell you what a ditransitive verb is, but they use these patterns frequently and effortlessly. For a second language learner, however, seeing how the language fits together like pieces of a puzzle is one more way to master the language. My goal is to heighten your awareness of these patterns and offer the chance to practice some of them. One dedicated learner here is @hilalahmad7286. After any lesson (vocabulary or grammar), he immediately invests the effort to apply what was learned. This then helps him gain accuracy. This lesson is in my advanced grammar playlist. I'm also challenging learners to move back and forth between active and passive constructions, and being able to place the focus where you want gives you greater accuracy in self-expression. There are different paths to fluency. Some give little direct attention to grammar. For others, focused grammar practice helps things "click" in their minds. I hope that answers your question.

    Hi Jennifer. I'm from the UK and have been a software developer for 30 years. I can't believe how much of the terminology I don't know and how I use English grammar, often correctly, without knowing why. 😄Love and light.

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  Рік тому +1

      Most native speakers don't know grammar terminology beyond the basic parts of speech. It's not necessary. When you study a foreign language, though, you can more easily make comparisons to your first language if you're aware of things like passive verbs, reduced adjective clauses, etc. I have a couple of native speakers in my Patreon program. They've had teaching experience, but they challenge themselves to boost their own vocabulary and writing skills.

    Super lesson! it's an idea to watch this one a few times as there is a lot to take in.
    How not to overspend:
    It's best to stick to a budget. Spend what you can afford at Christmas. Don't even consider putting yourself in debt.
    Invitations:
    If I were inviting someone to a party, I would make sure they received my email or text invitation. I would phone them if I didn't get a response. It is easy to overlook an email and text message.
    Thanks!

      Wow. Thank you for the very generous support! I know it comes from a fellow grammar lover. :)
      Good advice: stick to a budget. I try, but I'm not always successful. Ha ha.
      So true about responses. An email response could be overlooked. I like using evites for larger gatherings. It keeps me organized and sends out reminders. When I send evites to people, I expect them to tell me yes, no, or maybe. Those responses are recorded.

    Of those many meetings, the one I "( had )" in Chicago in 1994 was very special .
    Mam generally
    we can use. "have/had + noun "
    Like this "had a meeting ,have a meeting "
    But in this sentence after "HAD" used a preposition "in"
    "I (had in) Chicago in 1994 "
    I don't understand this sentence
    Please reply to understand this sentence

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  Рік тому

      That's an adjective/relative clause:
      "the one that I had"
      "the one which I had"
      It's possible to omit the relative pronoun because it's an object in an identifying clause.
      I have a playlist on adjective clauses. :)

    Respected madam, The mandatory reporting obligation under the pocso act and the fear of the partner "being reported" to the police deters girls from availing themselves of medical services and inadvertently pushes them towards unsafe abortion. Is "Being reported" a passive present participle adjective modifying "the partner" or is it a passive gerund (if it's a passive gerund, they should have written like this "the partner's being reported) please explain to me.

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  Рік тому +1

      Hello. "Fear of" + gerund
      OF needs an object, and gerunds behave like nouns. "Being" can be the object.
      Gerunds can be passive (being + past participle).
      Gerunds can be possessive (his being reported), and sometimes we change that possessive word to an object pronoun (him being reported).

    • @Englishwithjennifer
      @Englishwithjennifer  Рік тому

      Hi. Not sure. I don't use that term and haven't come across it. If the verb is transitive, it needs an object. I imagine that "directional" means a prepositional phrase of direction or another adverbial:
      The hostess seated our family at a large table.
      transitive verb = seated
      object = our family
      adverbial/prepositional phrase of place/direction = at a large table
